RT2500PCI hangs on uevent [SOLVED]

Hello, I've just enabled RT2500PCI as a module in tuxonice-2.6.28-r8. Now, booting hangs at ueventd (about the fifth service to be started). It's definitely that because I can boot interactively, skip that step, then disable RT2500PCI, make and install the kernel, and it boots correctly. Any ideas ?

maybe compile drivers statically into the kernel?

Thanks for the suggestion but there is only the option for modules; RT2X00 has options M or nothing.

than you must have selected some parent option as a module, because I have the same kernel version (-r5), same hardware and I can compile it statically.

The menu hierarchy is device drivers / network device support / wireless LAN / RaLink driver support but there's nowhere in that hierarchy where one can select * instead of M.

Possibly you are seeing the same problem as me with 2.6.28 kernel and rt61pci -

As a result I've masked 2.6.28 kernels here and am back on 2.6.27 based one that works. I'd give a 2.6.27 series kernel a go and see if that works.

Installed Kubuntu. It's just too much hard work.
